We divide 56841404 by 261
Our goal is to divide 56841404 by 261.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 261

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 56 by 261, we get 0 with a remainder of 56.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 56 and we're left with 56.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 568 / 261

Advancing to step 3:
The number 261 fits into 568 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 522 from 568 leaves us with 46.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 464 / 261

Advancing to step 4:
261 goes into 464 1 times with a remainder of 203.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 261 from 464 and we're left with 203.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 203, then repeat: 2031 / 261

On to step 5:
The number 261 fits into 2031 7 times, leaving a remainder of 204.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we take 1827 away from 2031, we end up with 204.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 204, then carry on: 2044 / 261

Going ahead to step 6:
2044 divided by 261 is 7 with a remainder of 217.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2177.0
If we take 1827 away from 2044, we end up with 217.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 217 and continue: 2170 / 261

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 2170 by 261, we get 8 and a remainder of 82.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21778.0
Subtract 2088 from 2170 to get 82.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 82 and continue with: 824 / 261

Step 8:
261 goes into 824 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217783.0
Subtract 783 from 824 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
410 divided by 261 is 1 with a remainder of 149.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217783.1
If we take 261 away from 410, we end up with 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 261 fits into 1490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 185.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 217783.15
If we subtract 1305 from 1490, we get 185.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1850, and continue the process.

Step 11:
1850 divided by 261 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217783.157
Subtract 1827 from 1850 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
261 goes into 230 0 times with a remainder of 230.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217783.157
Deduct 0 from 230 and we're left with 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
261 goes into 2300 8 times with a remainder of 212.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217783.15708
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 2088 from 2300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
261 can be fit into 2120 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 217783.157088
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 2088 from 2120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 217783.157088 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
